After all the problems with ejections, slide troubles, and mag issues I decided against it. But later went against my word and bought one, took it home and striped it down polished the internals, bought a couple of extra 1911 mags "not para brand". Took it to the range ran a couple hundred rounds thought it!!! Absolute work horse, I believe I will be abusing the HELL out of this gun like a used rental car.

Got to the range, loaded all mags with MagTech .45 ACP ammo as required by the indoor range. I fully loaded all mags (8 rds). First mag inserted, tried to chamber a round and it nosed into the barrel ramp. No problem. I dropped the mag, ejected the round (not easy), inserted the ejected round back into the mag and tried again. This time the round partially chambered and was very difficult to remove. I tried the second mag. Same result. I tried the third mag. Same result. I tried the fourth mag. Same result. I could not get this gun to properly chamber a round. In case you're wondering, I own a Springfield Armory Trophy Match 1911, so I'm very familiar with the operation of this gun. My SA 1911 has no problem with MagTech or any other ammo. I stepped out of the indoor range room to enlist the help of the range officer and firearms instructor who has owned no less than three 1911s (Kimber/Springfield) for over two decades with over 50,000 rounds fired. I explained to him what was happening, so he stepped into the range area to try to assist. Same story. He had the same problem I had no matter which mag was used. He even tried his own personal stash of PMC and Federal ammo, none of which worked. He was stumped. Said he'd never seen a brand new gun do this. He was finally able to chamber a round by fiddling with the slide, then inserted a mag with 1 round in it to see if it would shoot, and chamber the second round. He was able to fire the gun, but the second round would not properly load. Needless to say it was not a happy trip to the range. I'll be sending this piece of trash back to Para on Monday in hopes of getting it in working order. I found out after I bought this gun, but before I received it that it was discontinued by Para after only one year. I asked if they did this because of problems with the gun and the customer service rep said no, it's a great gun. I have my doubts now, to say the least. I'll post more as the saga continues. At this point, I cannot recommend the purchase of this gun even at this discounted price. I now regret not buying another Springfield. The Trophy Match has performed absolutely flawlessly right out of the box. Not a single problem, ever!

If you are less than 200 lbs and attempt to fire it in a "weaver" stance. Chances are you are going to have this problem. This can also cause other problems where it will not feed another round, because your wrist and arm is accepting too much of the recoil and you are moving your body and arms with the weapons recoiling, taking away the necessary force needed to rack another round, or in your case, firing twice very quickly. Try the good ole' fashioned always proven triangle stance. Square your shoulders to target and extend both arms, and LOCK your elbows. With this stance, when the firearm recoils, your arms aren't giving away the power and thus it will function correctly. I own, seriously, EVER gun you can possibly think of. From 22lr to .458 lott and everythign in between. I have 9 or 10 different 1911's and i say 9 or 10, because I have so many firearms, that I simply lose track constantly. Shoot safe and let me know if that fixed it. It’s your stance. If you are less than 200 lbs and attempt to fire it in a “weaver” stance. Chances are you are going to have this problem.

After I bought it I started to read the jamming comments. I put 100 rounds thru no problem. I then went back to the range and now it loads 2-3 rounds and then jams. A slight tap on the slide and it is okay but it is annoying. I will try tp put more rounds thru it and use a different ammo. If it continues it will go back for repairs.

With the pin pushed out (.030") it causes a monster jam with the slide. Isn't there supposed to be a dimple in the slide stop that the frame side spring pushes into to keep it in place?

It jammed twice when racking a round into the chamber. I knew then I was going to have problems. The gun jammed every 4th, 5th, or 6th round (failure to feed). I have three other 1911's, "two Sprigfields and one Colt" and never have I had a failure to feed with these handguns. I called Para and they advised to ship the gun back for repair, but I was to pay for shipping it back. This is BS, why should I have to pay for shipping a new Para handgun back when it is not functioning properly. I have just purchased my first and last Para.

Junk absolute junk!!! how a firearms company can continue to produce wepons that are unreliable is beyond me. I have owned 2 p-12's (yea i know i didn't learn my lesson the first time) and i can not get 50 rounds through either one without some sort of malfunction. My gunsmith and i replace springs mags etc. My gunsmith owned a p13 and he cut the slide in half after getting too frustrated. Just buy a Les baer or wilson combat and get over it. Glocks are always a safe bet and easier on the wallet but accuracy will never touch a 1911. That is the only thing i can say is both p12's were accurate and for such a loose gun.

I have had no problems with it jamming at all and have used many types and loads of ammo. The only thing I didn’t like was the trigger it did break fairly crisp But had allot of play and had a gritty feel just before you got to the pressure. So I fully disassembled it and found out why, all of the internal firing parts where ruff finished and all had their Para black finish (the same as the outside) someone should tell them to stop waisting their time and leave them plain steel. Even the sear was rough and painted. After honing some of the parts I put it back together and it was better but I’m going to buy all new Ed brown internal parts and it will probably be my favorite pistol. I also did allot of filing on my magazine lock when I had it apart, I found it still had sharp edges on it and I did have to push the mag in hard when new, but now it slides in nice and the relise is really nice for easy and fast mag change. For know it hangs out in its Blackhawk carbon fiber holster loaded with 200gr Hornady tap ammo on my head board. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice affordable starter 1911 that they can upgrade and do so amateur gun smithing to themselves.

Those mags did not give me any more problems after a couple more runs each. Have used 230 gr FMJ and HP from UMC, Fiocchi, and PMC. Other than the 2 early hiccups, no other problems in 300 rds. I'll review in a couple weeks or so after I've shot it some more. I traded for a new para stainless a few weeks ago.

Don't lose any sleep over your purchase until you shoot enough rounds to break it in. Seems like some shoot great and others can't feed a round. Only thing I can tell you is send it back to Para if it don't function. Pete baby,

I was thinking about buying a GI Expert but I purchased the Auto-Ordnance just because I wanted the more traditional 1911A1 look. The features Para offers for the money on the GI Expert seems like a great buy. It looks like Para came out with a new GI this year with a different finish. I notice many sidearms are being maligned for many reasons. One thing about the 1911 is they are easy to work on and modify. I wipe my 1911's off more than I shoot them so that is the main reason I purchased the much maligned Auto-Ordnance. I still might pick up a Para in the future. Good luck with your sidearm.
